Robert MacBain wants nothing to do with the Senator Lynn Beyak and the controversy surrounding her.
Beyak quoted the Toronto author at length during her controversial remarks on residential schools on March 7 in the Senate.
She referred to his latest book – Their Home and Native Land – when discussing residential schools and some people wanting to rename Langevin block, the Prime Minister’s Office.
During that speech she also said there was “an abundance of good” in residential schools.
“There is absolutely nothing in Their Home and Native Land, in any op-eds I have written, in radio interviews, or in the material that I provided to her office at the beginning of February that would support her position,” said MacBain in a statement released Thursday.
“Whatever good there might have been was the exception that proved the rule.”
